The cleric, Muhammed al-Arifi, who is a leading jihadist religious figure, made it clear that his edict called for the gang rape of Syrian women and girls. He specified that the "intercourse marriages" last only a few hours "in order to give each fighter a turn."

The fatwa calling for the gang rape of Syrian girls and women comes as anger and street protests decrying gang rape of Indian women intensify. One Indian woman who was beaten and gang raped on a bus in Mumbai died recently. Another teen victim of gang rape, who was pressured by the Indian police to marry one of her attackers, recently committed suicide.

According to a friend of mine who worked in the Saudi oil industry, many toung male workers would show up in the infirmary after their day off with "anal tearing" due to the incredible amount of unskilled butt sex that happens in a country where the sexes are socially isolated and prostitutes have been stoned into the ground for 15 centuries.

Hmm from TFA, the cleric MAY just be authorizing sex outside of marriage.

There IS precedent, within Iran no less. They declared it was ok to have a "temporary marriage" for sex. Thus oddly negating the "no sex outside of marriage" restriction entirely. It enables men to visit prostitutes as well as lovers, even in addition to a normal marriage.

He seems to just say he's authorizing extramarital sex in time of war, I don't see where he specified it would be rape. The "as young as 14" is where you'd read in a lack of consent, but that's subjective to our legal tradition here of age-of-consent.Islam has no "pope", and clerics are largely self-declared leaders, like Pat Robertson or Fred Phelps. They may have carved out a fiefdom of followers or not, if I read the situation correctly a person can call themselves a religious leader without specific parishioners, essentially a commentator writing "letters to the editor".

Did Muhammed foresee all the man-on-man action, I wonder?

/12 disciples walk funny.

If only a country like that had access to high quality lubrification. It would be a gay Mecca.

Really, you could burn every church, mosque, temple, and farking holy site on the planet to the ground and I wouldn't wince. No sense encouraging asshats to do stupid things. They already believe in an invisible friend, so they aren't right in the head. People like that need to STFU and be medicated, incarcerated, or annihilated, depending upon how armed and or vocal they are.

This is why I hate neocons and Occupation-Iraqi-Freedumb supporters and interventionazi idiots in general. Islam is fundamentally a savage and primitive world view -- it's practitioners will never civilized. The Islamic religion does say to kill infidels wherever they are. Stealing American livelihoods at IRS gunpoint and spending it on foreign aid to Muslims is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. I think we need to admit that and arrest the perpetrators of Iraqi Freedumb for treason; those assholes are not only not Americans, but are exactly the sort of collectivist, imperialist, wealth-redistributing evil that the United States was formed in opposition to.

Sorry neocon A-holes, we (Ron Paul supporters, libertarian paleo-conservatives etc.) are the intellectual descendants of the American Revolution -- you global-commie interverionazis are its enemies.
